My FJ average used to vary between 15-20hrs per month with about 10-12 AD sorties per month (depending if we were doing ACT or Affil sorties). Once on a large ISTAR type it went up to 20-25hrs per month but only 3-4 sorties a month. The ISTAR sorties were normally plan one day and fly the next, whereas the FJ was a plan fly and would take less than 1/2 a day inlcuding the debrief.
Horses for courses...
